Either I skim right by it or it hasnt been answered. As I am looking through all the Video processor posts, this is only solving half my problem.
I purchased my Integra 7.7 shortly after they were released and went with them because I have always had good performance and reliability from Integra. Basically I was switching out from an HK AVR7300 because it had no HDMI and as luck would have it, it literally caught fire one day (another story). What I didn't know much about was DolbyTruHD and the DTS HD modes and I stupidly thought all of this tech would flow straight thru from my Toshiba HDXA2 thru the receiver. Now I am stuck with a new receiver that has two HDMI ports and it sounds great but I dont get the TruHD options.
My question is this (since I cant find anything in audio sections). Are there any audio processors that do what I am talking about, like there are video processors that do the things we wish our receivers would do? If there arent, there should be!! Don't you think? or is this just a crazy subject. I would say there is definitely a market for it.
My last question is this. If I have to go out and get a new receiver and go back to the same company here in Dallas,TX whom I've bought everything from my subzero to my off air antenna. I have to say walking back in there I will be a little miffed due to the fact that no one told me that in a few months there would be these options on the new Integra receivers. I certainly would have waited until it came out. Would you guys bring this up to the salesman?
I know I've thrown a bunch at you guys but i would appreciate your answers and input. Take care folks.
